Archiving Confusion

I recently upgrade to Money 2006 from 2004. My primary data file is full
and I'm wanting to archive 2004 and 2005 respectively into two separate
files leaving me with virtually an empty file for 2006. Everything seems to
work fine EXCEPT for Checking Account transactions that involve my mortgage
and payroll transactions. For some reason during the archive process,
transactions with the 2004 date that should be archived are remaining in the
primary file. If subsequently deleted, they alter the Mortgage account as
if the payment was never made. The same is true if I delete the payroll
deposits - it wipes out the related 401K contributions from my investment
account.

Is this normal? Is there any way to not alter the historical balances of
investments and loans but to eliminate the driving transactions?

Thanks,
Joe

The short answer is no.

For the long answer, please see the thread from late last week titled "DO
NOT ARCHIVE THE MONEY FILE". There is no practical "full" Money file. At
least not one so full that archiving is the solution to anything associated
with it.
